Creative graphic designer passionate about impactful visual communication.
What I'm looking for
I am a competent and creative graphic designer with a deep passion for effective communication through visuals. My journey in design has been shaped by my education at The British Academy of Graphic Design, where I honed my skills in various aspects of graphic design, including colour psychology, typography, and layout composition.
Throughout my career, I have strived to listen to my clients' needs and ideas, translating them into visually appealing designs that leave a lasting impression. My experience as a barista has also enhanced my customer service skills, allowing me to connect with clients on a personal level and understand their visions better. I believe that good design is not just about aesthetics; it's about creating meaningful experiences and memories.
